About this course
The Tower Course at Morley Hayes occupies rolling parkland terrain in the Derbyshire countryside, approximately five miles north of Derby. Designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark and opened in 1992, the course takes its name from a distinctive stone tower that serves as a local landmark on the property. The layout makes use of natural elevation changes and mature woodland, with several holes playing through tree-lined corridors and others opening to broader views across the estate. The routing incorporates water hazards on multiple holes, including ponds and streams that come into play on approach shots and around greens. The course measures over 6,700 yards from the back tees, presenting a test for accomplished players while remaining accessible from forward markers. The variety in hole design includes both strategic risk-reward opportunities and straightforward tests of accuracy, with bunkering that emphasizes placement off the tee and around putting surfaces. Morley Hayes operates as a hotel and golf resort rather than a traditional members' club, making the Tower Course available for visitor play throughout the year. The facility includes a second course, the Manor, which offers a shorter alternative. The clubhouse and hotel occupy historic buildings on the estate, and the property has developed a reputation in the region for corporate golf days and society outings alongside regular public access.
